Healthcare

The Problem:

We have a broken healthcare system.
Doctors face overwhelming patient loads and administrative burdens. Patients endure surprise billing, life-altering medical debt, a lack of price transparency, and a system that prioritizes profits over health. Meanwhile, large corporations and middlemen make decisions driven by dollars—not care.

Despite ~$2 trillion in annual federal healthcare spending, our country continues to get sicker. While treatment for illness and injury is often effective, preventative care and whole-person health are severely lacking.

The Cause:

Financial incentives are misaligned.
Profit-driven payers benefit from rising premiums and higher costs, while patient outcomes and long-term health are sidelined. The flow of healthcare dollars prioritizes short-term gains for corporations over sustainable, community-wide well-being.

The Path Forward:

• Create Patient-Centered Healthcare Systems
  Align financial incentives between providers and payers with the long-term health of individuals and communities. Emphasize prevention, wellness, and total health—not just treating illness.

• Streamline and Integrate Systems
  Promote operational efficiency through integrated, community-based healthcare models. Focus on population health and wellness across the full life spectrum, while maintaining accountability through competition, consumer choice, and smart regulation where necessary.

• Restructure Medicare and Medicaid
  Eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. Open these programs to market competition that drives quality, innovation, and patient-centered outcomes—without sacrificing care for cost-cutting.

Health should never be a byproduct of profit.
It’s time to realign our system around what truly matters: the well-being of our people and communities.
